n-architektur: Roden Crater, East Portal Entryway, 2000 James Turrell “I wanted to use the very fine qualities of light. First of all, moonlight. There’s a space where you can see your shadow from the light of Venus alone- things like this. I also wanted to gather starlight that was from outside the planetary system, which would be from the sun or reflected off of the moon or a planet…you’ve got this older light that’s away from the light even of our galaxy. So that is light that would be at least three and a half billion years old. So you’re gathering light that’s older than our solar system.” So you have ANY idea how much I would kill to get there? I’ve tried to figure out a way to see it. No luck so far. It’s a top bucket list item, for sure.
